Figure 9. Optional bracket installation.

Please note that the rear carriage (#44) of the

Shop Fox

Fence works in conjunction with most

rear mounted blade guard support systems, but

limits the minimum cutting width to approxi-

mately 1

⁄

". Facing the fence with wood or using

an overarm style guard may allow closer cutting

than 1

⁄

". If your existing rear blade guard sup-

port bracket prevents the Shop Fox

Fence from

coming within 1

⁄

'' of the blade, we recommend

installing Woodstock's optional bracket. Figure 9.

F. BLADE GUARDS

CAUTION: Table saw blade guards are an impor-

tant safety component on any table saw. DO NOT

REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD.

A little extra time spent aligning your saw guard

to the blade will make it a smooth functioning and

integral component of the machine. Please refer to

your table saw operator’s manual.

One of the challenges of working with a blade

guard lies in cutting narrow pieces. Most blade

guards overhang the actual blade by about 1" on

either side of the blade. When working in close

proximity to the blade (under 3") we recommend

using a push stick made from

⁄

" or wider mate-

rial. Since the push stick must go around the blade

guard, any cut less than 1

⁄

" wide presents a

potentially dangerous situation.

The safest way to rip narrow pieces is to cut nar-

row strips from wider boards so that the narrow

piece comes off the saw to the left of the blade. In

the event that a narrow piece (under 1

⁄

") needs to

be further trimmed down, we recommend that you

re-evaluate which machine may be better suited

to the job. Jointers, planers and thickness sanders

all produce excellent finishes and provide safer

alternatives to removing the blade guard from a

table saw.
